Aztec Civilization: Destiny to Conquer America!-Chapter 1613 - 1147: Diabolo, the New Life of the Taino Tribe!

"Praise the Ancestors! Praise the Great Cassava Deity! Praise the Great Sun Chief God!... The white-skinned demons are escaping!..."

"Damn it! They've ignited the outer shacks! They want to burn down the village!..."

"Put out the fire! Quickly, put out the fire!..."

"May the Chief Divine protect us! Militia, go put out the fire! Warriors of Leather Armor who believe in the Chief Divine, charge with me!..."

"Boom! Boom!"

As the sky darkened, the setting sun seemed like sacrificial blood, spreading across the vast sky. The blood-red sky illuminated the fire burning on the ground, reflected the cannon-firing of the three sailing ships, and shone on the Castilian sailors fleeing in panic.

These dregs of the fleet, though weak in offense, were indeed skilled at fleeing. The arquebusiers of the Nina, having lost all their gunpowder, directly set fire to the fence and the surrounding shacks. Sailors from the Holy Maria swung their daggers, spearing several big fish from the shallow fishpond, running last among everyone. Meanwhile, the sailors on the Pinta had long been terrified, running faster than anyone else...

"Whoosh! Whoosh!..."

"Ah! Save me!..."

"Holy Mother! The native chieftain is catching up! He shot down little Gonzalo!..."

"Can't worry about that now! Get on the boat, quickly on the boat!..."

The sun set, and the lake bay flashed with red light. The three armed dinghies that landed were crowded with Castilian sailors, with many even jumping into the shallow water, swimming towards the anchored sea ships. The sailors remaining on the three ships also fired desperately towards the shore, covering the retreat of the landing sailors.

"Whoosh!... Whizz! Whizz!..."

The Kingdom's Divine Archer Kexi, holding a very long greatbow, led over ten Taino Militia with slings and over twenty Leather Armor spearmen with emblems on their foreheads, shooting arrows and throwing stones at the sailors' rears. The stones fell, splashing water and making the sailors shout. The sharp arrows deftly killed one sailor and wounded two others. However, one wounded sailor was rescued by Sailor Chief Barto, leaving only the deck sailor Gonzalo with a wounded leg.

"Vaffanculo! Idiots! A group of idiots! Who are these clumsy chicken-like fools? At such a time, how could they run slower than those from the other two ships?!"

Columbus stood at the flagship's bow, his face livid. He cursed loudly while watching the shore. He saw the Warrior Leader in copper armor drawing a human-height greatbow, shooting arrow after arrow, hitting three crew members of the flagship consecutively. Only when the matchlock guns on the ship fired did the opponent step back a few steps, coldly glanced at the ship's bow, and then shot an arrow from a distance!

"Whoosh!"

"Holy Mother! Save... Merda! What the heck? Daring to scare the brave Expedition Commander!" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Seeing the arrow flying in, Columbus jumped in surprise, deftly ducking on the deck like an antelope. Then he cautiously lifted his head to survey and realized that the feathered arrow hadn't even reached the several-meters-high bow, running out of momentum and falling down.

"Damn it! Damn native archers! With the Almighty as my witness, I will come back again! Merda! Quickly fire guns and cannons towards the shore!"

"Boom!... Bang! Bang!"

Divine Archer Kexi retreated a few steps, squinting dangerously, looking at the most elegant man on the largest ship. With a cold gaze, he firmly recorded the man's donkey face, red hair, and commander's hat in his mind. Then, he looked at the "demon" sailors climbing onto the large ship, counted fewer than fifty, before turning around to the only white-skinned "demon" captured a few dozen steps away...

"Merciful Almighty! Virgin Mary! Please, save me from the hands of the cruel barbarians!... Uh!..."

Divine Archer Kexi punched heavily on sailor Gonzalo's jaw, knocking the "demon" unconscious. Then, he looked at the other's pierced calf, furrowing his brows. With force, he snapped the long arrow into two halves, pulling it out from both ends, and simply bandaged it to stop the bleeding.

"Holy Mother! It hurts! It hurts so much!... Uh!..."

Gonzalo let out a scream, waking up from the pain, only to be knocked unconscious again. Then, Divine Archer Kexi skillfully took out sisal ropes, tightly binding the other's hands and feet, and strung up two long spears. Two Taino strong men carried the "demon" prisoner like captured prey, turning towards the village.

After finishing these tasks, the fires burning in the village were also extinguished by the militia. Divine Archer Kexi turned around to gaze at the dim lake surface, the sun almost set.

In the last twilight, the three Castilian sea ships with flickering torches raised their sails together, gradually turning their bows towards the northeastern rivermouth, becoming smaller and smaller...

"May the Chief Divine protect us! This battle came unexpectedly, the first encounter between the Kingdom and the demons!... We killed five demons, captured one prisoner, and lost eleven Taino Militia..."

Divine Archer Kexi silently gazed out, recalling the start and end of this battle. Three demon fleets suddenly appeared, discovered by the fishing villagers. Then came the mobilization of the Fishing Bay Tribe, the cannon fire from the large ships, the flight of the chieftain and leaders, the militia's rout, the demon sailors' landing, the standoff and shooting between both sides, and finally, the enemy's sudden rout!

This first "fierce" battle, fought from afternoon to sunset, with thunder and lightning striking, sparking and crackling all around! Only to have a total of just over ten deaths in the end. The battle's intensity was so low, compared to the harsh campaigns on the highlands, it was incomparable...
